'Judging by the interest the performer? are taking in their work, Mr. L'nts hj:". not the slightest doubt he can sta£o'& I programme that will nac!- the theatre for seven nights. The were fact tlmt there will be » change of programme every evening with such a variety of items and popular prices. 2s and Is, is in itself sufficient to pack the theatre. The following are extracts from the Gisborne Times:—'-The Fete of Nations WB* staged for a season of ten nights at Ciabprne, admission having to be refused on the Inst night.". "that the Fete of Nations in connection, with the Qtt?*i> Carnival has been justified was again demonstrated last night, when the accommodation of His Majesty'* Theatre wa» fully taxed, and many were unable to find standing room. Last night waa th« fifth performance of the Fete of Nations, and the fact that there was evidence of increasing interest and enthusiasm speaks voluineß for the nature of W entertainment, and it must be gratifying to the organiser, Mr. W. LJnU, and his efficient company of performer*! to see. how much their "efforts are abpncU ated." „,.
